“…Initially the technique was described only for lower lobes but it was rapidly improved and developed for upper lobes, segmentectomy and pneumonectomy (22)(23)(24)(25). In quick succession, more difficult cases were reported including bronchial sleeve resection, pulmonary artery resection and reconstruction, and then, in 2014, a double sleeve resection (26)(27)(28)(29)(30). As the uniportal approach was successfully applied to more and more complex cases, the contraindications for the uniportal approach changed.…”

The development of thoracoscopy has more than one hundred years of history since Jacobaeus described the first procedure in 1910. He used the thoracoscope to lyse adhesions in tuberculosis patients. This technique was adopted throughout Europe in the early decades of the 20 th century for minor and diagnostic procedures.It is only in the last two decades that interest in minimally invasive thoracic surgery was reintroduced by two key technological improvements: the development of better thoracoscopic cameras and the availability of endoscopic linear mechanical staplers. From these advances the first video-assisted thoracic surgery (VATS) major pulmonary resection was performed in 1992. In the following years, the progress of VATS Currently, experts in the technique are able to use uniportal VATS to encompass the most complex procedures such as bronchial sleeve, vascular reconstructions or carinal resections. In contrast, non-intubated and awake thoracic surgery techniques, described since the early history of thoracic surgery, peaked in the decades before the invention of the double lumen endotracheal tube and have failed to gain widespread acceptance following their re-emergence over a decade ago thanks to the improvements in VATS techniques.

“…But ever since its birth over a decade ago, this surgical procedure has experienced rapid development. Now, the indications for uniportal VATS are already similar to those for three-port VATS (2)(3)(4). All over the world, more and more surgeons are changing their minds and beginning to accept this technique.…”

Uniportal video-assisted thoracic surgery (VATS) is getting recognized in thoracic surgery, especially in China. Although surgeons from some part of the world are still skeptic, those in China have witnessed its breathtaking growth, along with the development of the specialty of thoracic surgery. By introducing the history and experiences of one specialty hospital-Shanghai Pulmonary Hospital (SPH), we show the feasibility and safety of uniportal VATS, and illustrate the technical details of this procedure with the example of right middle lobectomy (RML).

“…Even in most centers with wide experience in VATS, the surgical indication for a sleeve resection precluded a minimally invasive approach. So far, only a few papers have reported on VATS sleeve resections and have suggested that also these demanding surgical operations may be performed with either conventional multiport VATS (2,3), or even uniportal approaches (4). The report of surgical resection and reconstruction of the central airways (i.e., intrathoracic trachea and/or carina) are even rarer.…”
